Sexually harassed
Article Abstract:
The American Nurses Assn estimates that more than half of all sexual harassment victims in the health care industry remain silent because they fear retaliation. The case of Stanford University Medical School neurosurgeon Frances Conley, who spoke up regarding sexual harassment from a colleague, is evidence that harassment is rampant in the health care industry. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission defines sexual harassment under the two categories of 'hostile environment' and 'quid pro quo.' Both victims and supervisory personnel need to be willing to deal with the issues involved in identifying and stopping sexual harassment.

Opponents argue that offering patients money-back guarantees on medical services creates unrealistic expectations. Proponents claim that the practice focuses on sharing risk, and enables doctors and patients to develop mutually agreeable fees and treatment programs.
